I have a summer internship and was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me, I would really appreciate it.

1. Would you consider yellow fogs for your mustang?

2. What would you pay for 2 very high quality yellow fogs?

• Chrome Gold tipped - Instead of the black/blue coating usually used on headlights (h13 shown to show the black cap)
  
• Quality Packaging - Something similar to what most HID's ship in, the metal containers
• All made in USA - Highest possible quality
• Lifetime warranty - No questions asked, if one bulb burns out, 2 brand new ones are shipped to your door
• Proprietary yellow coat that is guaranteed to never dull/chip
• Meets every law/standard. 100% legal

3. What would you guys pay for both lights? 40,50,60,70?

Here is a quick shot of the fogs in my car.

1. With my color scheme (red on black), I can really only justify a shift into the blue range of the spectrum. Yellow...probably not.

2. Are these bulbs HID/xenon or halogen? After having HID's, I can't say I'd ever switch back to halogens. I don't know that I'd pay more than $15-20 a bulb or $30-40 for a set...comparatively, I paid $140 for my HID foglights.

3. $30-40

I think it's important to distinguish these bulbs as halogens as I suspect they are. Hope this honest feedback helps.

Can A mod please move this thread to the s197 general section, or maybe a better fit section?

Yes, these would be halogen bulbs

The "whiter" the light the better IMO. Not a big fan or yellow or blue for that matter.

Different colors of light will travel different distances, and through different types of atmosphere. While whiter light does travel further than yellow light, yellow light reflects off of road signs and surfaces much more. Also, yellow light is better at cutting through heavy moisture such as fog (anyone watch Super GT or 24hrs of Lemans?).

Please be advised that the 'foglights' on the S197 are NOT true foglights since they are positioned too high on the car. They would need to be mounted at or below the front bumper to be effective. The center lights on the S197 Mustang are auxiliary driving lights.

To answer your original question- YES, I would be interested in yellow bulbs that were the same wattage, but with a higher intensity gas (that would up to your company). An acceptable price for each bulb is $30.

Hadn't thought about that, since 95% of my driving is in the city, but some good perspective. Now that I think back, the yellow fogs on an old 91 Pontiac I had worked like a charm when I was driving in thick fog out in the rural parts of the state.....but as you mentioned, they were also low to the ground.

Thanks for your opinions so far

How can we get them? And do you have them for the Roush fogs?

Except that auxiliary driving lights have a narrow beam spread of around 15 to 25 degrees with little or no vertical cutoff, a conical beam pattern. What we used to call pencil beams. Fog lamps are usually 75 to 95 degrees beam spread with a vertical cutoff similar to low beams. The latter is the configuration of the S197 GT "fog" lamps. It appears that Ford was going for nostalgia more than functionality with their placement but they are true fog lamps. If you have seen the Shelby GT auxiliary driving light/brake duct combo option that was introduced but delayed, you will notice that Shelby America has compounded this error by putting the driving lights where the fog lamps should have gone. Another better idea from both of them.
